Workshop

India’s long-term nuclear power programme is based on utilising the vast indigenous thorium resources available in our country, for electricity generation. India’s uranium resources can support a first-stage programme of about 10,000 MW based on Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) using natural uranium as fuel and heavy water as moderator and coolant. The energy potential of natural uranium can be increased to about 3,00,000 MW in the second stage though Fast Breeder Reactors (FBRs) which utilise plutonium obtained from the recycled spent fuel of the first stage along with thorium as blanket, to produce U-233. With the deployment of thorium at third stage using U-233 as fuel, the energy potential for electricity generation is large and substantial. Indigenous industrial infrastructure for reactor programme is well-developed. Special infrastructure for the production of fuel, heavy water, reactor control and instrumentation has been developed within the Department of Atomic Energy. Indian industry has gained valuable experience and reached a stage of maturity in manufacturing equipment components and handling of mega package contracts for these reactors.

The research and development activities for the FBR were carried out at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam. The commercialization of FBR has started with the under-construction Prototype Fast breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam by the Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Ltd.
(BHAVINI Ltd.). A number of components required for the PFBR have been fabricated by a number of big private industries.

Dr. Prabhat Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director, BHAVINI Limited, superannuated on 31 October 2014. Dr. Prabhat Kumar has been an active member of the Indian Institute of Welding. He has contributed significantly to the development of the Institute. He is currently the Chairman of the
ANBCC Committee of ANB of the Indian Institute of Welding.

The Workshop is being organized on 20 December, 2014 to honour Dr. Prabhat Kumar on the occasion of his superannuation. The workshop will cover innovations in materials, fabrication and inspection technologies in nuclear industry. A separate function to felicitate Dr. Prabhat Kumar is also planned.

Topics

Nuclear materials and innovative techniques in fabrication of large equipment to stringent tolerances

Participation in this workshop is both by invitation and by registration as delegate. Invitees are exempted from paying the registration fee. This workshop would be useful for engineers and scientists from different units of Department of Atomic Energy and to engineers from industries closely associated with fabrication of components for various nuclear power plants in India. Workshop shall also benefit those in academics dealing with nuclear and power plant engineering. Entrepreneurs and small scale industries who are keen on participating in fabrication of nuclear components shall also benefit immensely from this workshop.
